So, the soul-sucking void that is the annual Academy Awards wasn’t quite as sucky as anticipated. In fact, things started off quite well when Christoph Waltz won his well-deserved and much-predicted Oscar for Best Supporting Actor (Inglourious Basterds). Then, things launched into a sharp downward trajectory when Quentin Tarantino got robbed of the Best Original [...]

Let’s Face It, Folks–You’d Point At It Too
Yep, I’m totally taking issue with Robert Pattinson’s unruly mop of hair. Yet again. This time, the bloke looked a total mess at the 2010 BAFTA awards ceremony in London. Now, before anyone wonders whether the weather may have affected red carpet hairdos, that probably isn’t the case, [...]

Screen Actors Guild Awards, 02/01/2010Eli Roth, Jackie Ido, Diane Kruger, Christoph Waltz, Omar Doom, B.J. Novak

In the past month (give or take), I’ve pestered four people, who had not previously not done so, into watching Inglourious Basterds. All four of them absolutely loved the movie, so what are you waiting for? Incidentally, Christoph Waltz appeared [...]

This is why [...]

Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds releases on DVD and Blu-Ray today, and some of the cast celebrated at a release party last evening at the New Beverly Cinema in West Hollywood. While Tarantino, Doom, and Roth relived those Italian introductions, the Hollywood [...]

Aww, dammit. In a terribly unfortunate development, I can no longer look at a photo of Eli Roth and Christoph Waltz without thinking, “Does this go out to everyone’s blueberry?” Hence the above photo of Roth with the perfectly lovely Diane Kruger at the Movieline.com presentation of the 2009 Hamilton Awards. Meanwhile, the disarming Christoph [...]

Via Omar Doom’s Twitter comes this bizarre JibJab video of “Monster Mash” as portrayed by various Inglourious Basterds characters: Christoph Waltz as Dr. Victor Frankenstein, Omar Doom as Dracula, Melanie Laurent as the Bride of Frankenstein, and B.J. Novak as the Wolfman. Finally, in a bit of casting inspiration, Eli Roth [...]
